Dan Brereton on Red Sonja

Comics Continuum has some comments from Dan Brereton about his work on Red Sonja Annual #3, due in May.

“I’m thrilled to have been able to tell the story of Red Sonja and the Lonely King, a tale I’ve had in mind to tell for several years,” Brereton said. “Since I was a snot-nose kid, Red Sonja has always been my favorite female character in comics. Something about her never fails to captivate me – it isn’t the steel bikini or the flaming red hair… you just can’t shake her eyes – angry, intelligent, savage and sad.

“I think she may even have her Cimmerian pal beat for gigantic melancholy and gigantic mirth, which is a great challenge from a writing standpoint.”
